Default Re: Vanessa Rousso interview - \"I play A LOT of online tournaments...\"

I play 80 or 90 MTT every month lol.

Her finishing 3rd in the WCOOP was dissapointing for me because now we are going to see and hear from her on Cardplayer and such over and over and over again.

Yes, she's gone deep in some big fields and played well. Yes, she's shown some poker competency (at times, like how on the Ladies PAD she played weak and on the Battle of the Sexes on she played pretty good).

But just because she's hot, dates Chad Brown, and is (often trying a bit too hard) to be visible in the poker media doesn't mean we should be all up on her game and calling her the next big thing where we have had other players who have finished similarily deep in other tournies and are good players and not get the same press because they don't have an interesting background or killer legs.

She's got good talent and enthusiasm for the game, but I just wish the poker media would use the The Winston Wolf "Let's Not Start Sucking Each Other's Popsicles Yet" test when it comes to her evaluation of her poker skill.
